I’m not sure who this dude is but I got my picture taken with him and I touched his nose because everyone else was doing it. Probably not a wise thing to do but I like to live life on the edge. Was he in Game of Thrones?

Located between Rector's palace and Dubrovnik's "Marin Drzic" Theater . The statue is the work of the famous Croatian sculpture Ivan Mestrovic . Marin Drzic (aka "Dubrovnik's Shakespeare") , was a 16th Cent. renaissance Playwright and prose writer , born in Dubrovnik in 1508 . Great photo opps of people rubbing his nose for good luck .

Apparently it is for good luck. Why touching the nose of a famous Croatian playwright’s nose is lucky I don’t know, but can you resist or risk not doing what all the other tourists are doing?!

Fascinating statue with a very shiny nose that is shiny as rubbing brings you luck and a return to Dubrovnik…. apparently.

Considered one of the greatest writers from the republic of Ragusa, Marin Drzic lived from 1508 to 1567. Legend has come that to get good luck the visitor must rub the nose of the statue.

Passing through the historic core of Dubrovnik, we couldn't resist rubbing Marin Držić's nose. We found out that it is not about any luck and that there is no basis for this ritual. But just in case, we also rubbed his nose.

Iconic and rather striking statue of Dubrovnik's Shakespeare. It’s extremely prominent and stands as a true landmark. Certainly worth a quick view if passing.

Not a bad statue, just nothing amazing. The statue has the shinniest golden nose, as everyone seems to enjoy rubbing it!

Držić's works cover many fields: lyric poetry, pastorals, political letters and pamphlets, and comedies. While his pastorals (Tirena, Venera i Adon and Plakir) are still highly regarded as masterful examples of the genre, the pastoral has, as artistic form, virtually vanished from the scene.
